Who these studies will actually take
Registered studies almost always define a specific syndrome or aetiology rather than the umbrella term, plus age bands and caregiver commitment to structured assessment. Enquiries based on the umbrella label usually fail screening immediately.
The studies currently enrolling

What recruiting does and does not mean
The status field tracks paperwork, not promise. What matters underneath it is the eligibility list, the outcome measures the sponsor committed to, and whether a site near you is actually enrolling, all of which sit on the registry record itself.
Sites sit in 12 countries, led by United States. Travelling for a trial rarely works unless the site has confirmed in writing that it can enrol non-residents and fund the follow-up schedule.

Frequently asked
How many stem-cell trials for Intellectual Disability are recruiting right now?
2 of 27 registered records (2026-08-29).
Can I join one of these trials?
Possibly, if the criteria fit and a site can take you. Nobody can promise a place on your behalf, and any intermediary charging a fee to arrange one is not part of the trial.
Do trials charge participants?
Standard practice is that the sponsor funds the investigational product. Charges framed as administrative fees deserve the same scrutiny as the treatment claim itself.
